Different ways of reading input from keyboard/end user:

I know only 6 methods to read input from keyboard/user.......

1. Command line argument
2. System properties
3. java.util.Scannner(from jdk1.5)
4. using console (from jdk1.6)
5. BufferedReader
6. using AWT / SWING




input.java
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.Console;
import java.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class input{
  public static void main(String as[])throws Exception{
     //command line argument
      String name1=as[0];
     //System property
      String name2=Sysytem.getProperty("myname");
      //scanner class
      Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
       String name3=sc.next();
     
        Console cons=System.console();
         String name4=cons.readLine();

    BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.println("enter name");
      String name5=br.readLine();

System.out.println(name1+" "+name2+" "+name3+" "+name4+" "+name5);
}//main

}//class
